So we planned a camping trip with a friend of mine from work over a month ago. Me and the wife in our camper. Him, his wife and 2 young boys in theirs. 

 Fast forward to a little over a week ago. His 1993 chevy 3500 dually crapped oil all over the road and is now at a shop. Hopefully the 6.5 diesel will be ok.

 Once he told me about the truck I automatically volunteered to pull his 36' fifth wheel to the campground for him. It's about a 45 mile trip there but I didn't mind.

 We hooked up my fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter and away we went. Then came back to get our camper. 

 I in no way want to gloat over a good deed but I sure feel good for helping him out. He thought his weekend was canceled. I didn't want to see his family loose out in their last camping trip of the year because of a broken truck when I can help out a friend. 

 Just wanted to share a feel good moment.

An electrician ordered a brand new Duramax for himself but, it took so long to get it from the factory the dealer offered 9 grand to him if he would back out of the deal because the price had gone up so drastically. It was a nice truck but, 87 grand yikes! He went on to say that he needs to get my job done and ready for drywall since he's taking the truck for a two week trip back to Tennessee to ready a home for his family to move into back there. I said let me know when you get stuck in Texas I'll come save you with my Cummins. We were both laughing about it with his other co worker while they were finishing up my job.

 

Three weeks goes by and he shows up on the job with pictures of his new half circle driveway in front of the place he is selling here in Oregon. I didn't want to say it but, dang that driveway was shaped so perfect like the capital letter 'C'. I couldn't resist, '' hey, it's 'C' for Cummins! We were all laughing about that one too. Laughter and camping with family and friends, the two best things in life...

 I agree

 This time out my buddy loaded our golf cart on a trailer and pulled it out there for us. It's actually the wifes cart, a 1969 harley davidson 3 wheel painted black with orange pinstripe with black/orange upholstery. That cart drew a lot of looks. Everyone else has the new fancy lifted ez-go type carts. Lol

 When my buddy backed his dodge Dakota under the front of his fifth wheel people kept stopping to ask him how the he77 he pulled that camper with that little truck. Lmao

 We had a really good time out there. Already have reservations for memorial day next year!

Would love to see a photo of the cart

It's pretty dirty at the moment and never mind the Bengals floor mats. Those will be changed soon.

 

Sweet
